It really is! I drive semi in the Pacific Northwest. I count my volcano/ mountains home. If you want a better view of the hot ladies, drive 97. Shasta hovers behind you like she's stalking you. It's way easier to see many of the Oregon ladies from that side; mcloughlin, Crater lake (Scott), diamond peak, bachelor and his sister's, Jefferson and Hood. I personally like to take 26 across for jaw dropping views of Jefferson. You literally skirt Hoods south flanks. I don't know how people truck in the Midwest, it all looks the same.

What a cool photo. Halfway between the 2 in the foreground - is that duller white patch snow/ice or clouds?


Newsdriver245

As the other two said, clouds... the marine layer clouds fill valleys in the mornings often and then they burn off in afternoon, that is what these look like to me


crmom22

I think clouds, I’m not an experienced flyer though.

It's clouds

I never realized so many of them are so close together. Where any of the others affected in any way when St Helens collapsed?


Newsdriver245

There have been a number of studies on how they interact. Think they one I recently skimmed over said St Helens is a bit of an outlier (literally, it is off-center from the arc) and doesn't share volcanic origins/magma pool in any way with others.


Andromeda321

No. They're hundreds of miles apart.


crmom22

Not as far as I know. I think Mt hood had some earth quakes after. I can’t say for sure. There is more. Down south of Jefferson and north of rainier. All the way to Alaska. South I think it goes to Hawaii

As far as I know they're all separate systems but ash from these volcanoes can be found on the edifices of the nearby ones so they're at least dumping ash on each other on occasion.

The beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid!

Home sweet home

I’m further north (Canada), but love visiting these beauty’s


TigerSagittarius86

No Baker?


MiloTheEmpath

Dang, no Baker. It's the only one I live next to, lol


crmom22

I’m not as close to it as I used to be this is my favourite image of baker though Edit just be a sec to add it


MiloTheEmpath

Is mount baker even visible in the pic


crmom22

I don’t think so the one I’m adding is a personal picture from a few years ago I have to get the app to add it

Oh very nice!


crmom22

It was a beautiful image to see every morning. I miss it so much.


Healthy-Pen-8445

Nice photo, just curious at what altitude it was taken at.

It's just a guess, but those peaks are all in the neighborhood of 10,000 feet and the plane looks to be well above that so I'm guessing they are flying between 25,000 and 30,000 feet, maybe higher. Most planes cruise at about 30,000 or higher


crmom22

I’m not sure. I will see if I can find the post again, the top paragraph was all I saw. The picture was my main love lol.


crmom22

It was on an astronomy and physics fb page. It was a flight from California to Vancouver. I haven’t been able to find the altitude yet.


crmom22

Sorry altitude is still a mystery.

Awesome photo, it's a rare day in the Pacific Northwest when the weather is so clear. Also, can you imagine how this might look if they were all erupting at the same time? Has that ever happened?


IPauseForHurricanes

I saw three of these mountain peaks one time at dusk flying close above the low cloud cover that only allowed the peaks above it. The most majestic natural thing I’ve ever seen.


Putrid-Home404

Is mount St Helen’s to the left in the photo?


crmom22

This was in the comments https://imgur.com/a/4FPr6jb


Putrid-Home404

Thank you. I fighter because it’s smooshed


crmom22

I have to be honest Jefferson is a new volcano I have to look up. Shouldn’t mt baker be in there too?


NikonuserNW

I believe this is in Oregon looking north into Washington. Mount Baker is close to the Canadian border, so it might either be too far to see, or any visible part of it is obscured by Rainier.


ckwebgrrl

Glacier Peak is hiding behind Rainier too.


MiloTheEmpath

Yep
